Thank you, great news! A few minor things I noted:

o It's a bit strange to use the real name as "user name" for
   login purposes, that could be split into a user name and a
   friendly display name or login via email address.

o The viewing page for a round is a bit hidden behind
   the small "View Round" link in the corner. Possibly the
   topic could link there as well. Also, the images on the
   viewing page are left-aligned although the corresponding
   text is on the right side, suggesting wrong pairings.

o I think all past rounds should appear under "Past Rounds", even
   the one which is currently show-cased under "Home". Actually I'm
   not even sure that just showing past winners is the best content
   for "Home", I'd have expected a (very short) description what the
   site is about and a compact overview of the current and last
   competition (the latter probably with the winning image).
   Nothing so scrollable ;)

o I didn't yet try submitting but it seems you need to provide
   a thumbnail manually, which seems a hot candidate for future
   automization ;) BTW I suppose submission by ftp is no
   longer supported?
